It provides a simple interface to gather genetic and molecular data from publications for inclusion in public biological databases. Canto employs OBO ontologies to ensure a consistent vocabulary is used to describe gene and gene product functionality and location.

Genetic and physical interaction annotation is also supported. Canto captures all necessary information about each interaction for submission to BioGRID.

Canto currently supports annotation export in JSON format, either by individual paper or in bulk. The JSON data from Canto can be loaded into a relational database using the Chado schema (as at PomBase) or alternative schemas.ma (as at PomBase) or alternative schemas. + and Curate GO annotations for S. pombe +
